Context

edit

Members of the electoral college were renewed in the 2023 Ivorian local elections on 2 September 2023, with a landslide victory for the ruling RHDP.[3]

Electoral system

edit

Senators are elected by members of municipal, autonomous districts and regional councils. In each region and autonomous district, two senators are elected by the members of this electoral college, while the president nominates a third one. The Senate thus has a total of 99 senators, 66 elected and 33 nominated.[4]
